load breakpoint file error

Question

I have previously saved list of breakpoints using

save breakpoints blist

now after compiling the program when I try to reload the same break points with the load command

load blist

I get this error

You can't do that when your target is `exec'

How to resolve this ?

Answer 1

load blist

Try source blist instead.

From "help save breakpoints":

Save current breakpoint definitions as a script.

The way to read a script is the source command. The load command means something different entirely.
